Tamale Pie Tamale Pie By The Iowa Housewife 10/11/12 08:00 Bettie is a fan of Mexican cooking. Lyle and I are not so much.

Spiced Sherry Apple Pie Spiced Sherry Apple Pie By The Iowa Housewife 09/26/12 10:00 I used the recipe for Spiced Sherry Apple Pie today from the Fannie Farmer Baking Book . It was quite good.

Strawberry Bavarian Pie Strawberry Bavarian Pie By The Iowa Housewife 07/31/12 08:00 Strawberry Bavarian Pie. There is no way you can lose with this recipe.

Lemon Fluff Pie Lemon Fluff Pie By The Iowa Housewife 10/27/11 08:00 For my other pie from the Farm Journal Pie Book , I decided to try a new (to me) pie.

Some History of Pies Some History of Pies By The Iowa Housewife 10/23/11 08:00 The Farm Journal Pie cookbook had some interesting History of Pies. Some of the things I knew and some I did not.

Choose-a-Fruit Mini Pies Choose-a-Fruit Mini Pies By The Iowa Housewife 06/08/11 10:00 I liked the idea of little, individual, pies without the work or calories of the bottom crust, when I saw this recipe in the Pillsbury Home Baking cook booklet.
